Teatro Galli – Sala della Musica
workshop

The workshop develops from reflections on the relationship between the aquatic universe, spirituality and some forms of socio-political resistance related to Black feminism. Then, it turns to a somatic practice, addressing the body and its ability to create new spaces. Water becomes a bridge between historical memory and speculation on the future through the generative and imaginative possibilities that artistic practices give us.
The workshop will circulate various materials related to the research, and it will propose the crossing of a somatic practice that “shakes the waters” in our tissues and imagination, addressing the movements of shaking, bubbling, bouncing and their rhythm, initiating an ecstatic dance session that hints at trance.
Swaying, oscillating around the centre, vibrating with desire, rattling, shaking off, jumping in surprise, moving in a damp cave, a space of yearning that revitalizes bodies and visions.
